SLEEPS STANDING UP.
Jake Afterward Takes His Rest
in the Day Time Under the
Trees.
Jake Rodgers says lie is the
only man in the world who sleeps
standing up, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. And most likely
he is right about it, although
there arc many men living who
claim to have done it under
compulsion during the war.
Jake also says that the reason he
is so healthy is because he
sleeps the way lie does.
The place where Jake has his
home is in Mendocino county,
near Los Robles.
It is safe to say that Jake's
house is the only one of its
kind in the world. It is built to
sleep standing up in, and it
would be impossible for a person
to sleep in it any other way un
less one curled up like a bear.
It is a queer-looking affair, hav
ing the appearance of a chimney
with a roof on it. But the
shanty keeps out the wet, and
that is all that is required.
There is only one door to the
house, and no windows.
'.Virile the outside ot the house
may look queer, the inside looks
queerer. There is only one piece
of furniture, and that is what
Jake caiis his bed. It looks
more like a coffin standing on
end, for it is a sort of box tilted
back only a few inches from the
perpendicular. The inside is
lined with straw, covered with
cloth.
"The way I sleep is the only
right way for anybody to sleep,"
said Jake, '-and the sooner
people come to their senses and
do as I do the sooner disease
will be stamped out of the world.
The noblest animal of all is the
horse, and he sleeps standing up.
"You see, I was sick as a boy,
way back in Massachusetts about
seventy years ago, and nothing I
did done me no sort of good.
There always was something the
matter, and as soon as I laid
down in my bed my head began
to ache. But do you know I
stood that for nigh onto halt a
century before I got any sense
into me? And then I was out in
Calitornia digging gold.
'One night my head ached so
bad I couldn't stay iu bed, and
had to stand against the wall to
get relief. Without knowing it
I fell asleep, and when I woke
up I felt like a new man. I made
up my mind to sleep that way
all the time, but had trouble to
i'iud a place to do it. That is
the reason I moved out to this
place. It's over fifteen years
ago, and I have never had a sign
of the old trouble and am con
vinced that sleeping in bed is
the cause of all the pain and dis
ease in the world. Sleep stand-
ing up and you w 11 be a new
man in a short lime."
The strange thing about Jake's
th ory is that he admits he does
uot rest when he sleeps standing
up. He has to do that under the
trees the next day. He says
that has nothing to do with his
idea, though, for most people do
too much work, anyhow.
Admiration for Mi. Bryan.
On Saturday last W. J. Bryan
received the following from the
Free Silver Club of Hill City,
South Dakota:
"Hon. W. J. Bryan,
Lincoln, Neb.:
"Honored Sir: We. the mem
bers of the Hill City Silver Club,
herewith tender you our earnest
admiration for the patriotic de
votion with which you served
our cause during the recent cam-
paign. We propose to remain
organized and shall as zealously
in the luture, as we have in the
past, revere the principles you
advocate. The result of the
campaign is but a temporary de
feat and we firmly believe that
truth crushed to earth will rise
again.' "
This is but one of the many
similar letters received by Mr.
Bryan, whose correspondence
continues heavy.
The Atlanta Constitution, re
marking that President Cleve
land on his retirement, will have
twice stepped aside totnake room
for a Republican successor, con
cludes that "the doctrines by
which he hoped to build up the
Democratic Party are not par
ticularly agreeable to a majority
of the American people.

ATTEMPTED TO LYNCH HIM.
A VIRGINIA JAIL INVADED AND
NEGRO HIGHWAY ROBBER
SLIGHTLY SHOT.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock last
Monday night a lynching party
visited the jail of Prince Edward
county, located at Farmville,
Virginia, and attempted to take
the life of El isha Johnson, colors
ed, awaiting trial for an assault
and highway robbery alleged to
have been committed by John
son, Tuesday night upon a white
man named "Wax" Price There
were i.i the party a half dozen
determined men, one of whom
climbed the high fence surround
ing the jail and unhooking the
gate, admitted the others. The
prisoner was confined in a lower
floor cell and when asked
through the window if he was
Elisha, the reply came back, the
man wanted was in the next
room. The would-be lynchers
immediately opened fire upon
the prisoner who was lying upon
his couch paralyzed from fright.
He could not be seen well
through the window and cell
bars and only one load of shot
from the volley fired at him, took
effect. His wounds were not
serious. Johnson, it is alleged,
waylaid Price, near Rice's depot,
Prince Edward county, and
struck him on the head and rob
bed him. Price's injuries are
not serious. Johnson was tried
Tuesday last for highway rob
bery and assault. He plead
guilty to both charges, and was
given for both offenses 20 years
iu the State penitentiary. There
is no clue to the perpetrators of
the attempt at lynching.
Sandy Soils.
The farmer who has a farm on
sandy laud finds it naturally in
the condition that the farmer on
clay soils does who goes to a
heavy expense for draining, sub
soiling, etc., to bring his laud
into a porousness that will res
ceive the air and retain moisture.
By an investment in an amount
of coarse fertilizers equal to the
amount spent by the owner of
clay soil in draining and subsoil
ing, he has a soil as fertile and
retentive of moisture as the
drained clay land, and much
more easily worked. Cow peas
aud beggar weed will form a
mass of vegetable matter that
will put sandy soils in condition
to produce cereal or other vege
table crops.
Manure placed upon land un
derlaid with water, or so hard
the air cannot penetrate it,
might as well be cast into the
water; but put upon the sandy
land, and with pea vines and all
kinds of vegeta ble matter, it will
remain until taken up by plants
and not leach away, as in grav
elly soil, particularly if supple
mented with potash aud super
phosphates.
Coarse manures plowed insix,
eight, or even twelve inches
deep will be found by roots of
plants, and where there perpet
ual moisture by capillary attrac
tion, if there is proper cultiva
tion in time of drouth. But the
cultivation mist not be delayed
until the top soil is dry. Flori
da Farmer.
Poor
Blood
"When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm it.
If your strength is easily ex
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It is not so
mucn IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich ; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.

Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phites is the best remedy in the
world for enriching the blood.

AUOSTJi RIOT.
THE JAILOR HAD TROUBLE
WITH A NEGRO.
200 NEGROES ON THE SCENE.
Tney Made Threats Against the
Jailor.
A riot wras narrowly averted
at Winston, N. C, 011 last Satur
day afternoon. A brother of
jailor Zigler, got into trouble
with a negro. The latter drew
a rock and was in the act of
throwing it at Zigler when Rev
enue officer James Smith, who
was present, threatened to shoot
the darkey. This caused the
negro to pitch the rock at Smith.
As he ran off, Smith or Zigler
one fired at him several times.
At this time some two hundred
negroes were on the scene.
They began making threats
against the jailor, who jumped
on his horse, went home and res
turned in a few minutes with his
double barrelled shot gun. His
re-appearance caused a general
stampede among the negroes.
When they saw the gftn they
fled around corners, and down
allies. There were no more
shots fired, notwithstanding ex
citement was at fever heat.
While en route home after his
gun jailor Zigler unintentionally
ran over and knocked down Mr.
Edward Spach, an aged and pop
ular citizen. An ugly bruise
and gash were inflicted on his
nose and face. On account of
his age it is feared that his ins
juries will prove serious. Ever
thing is, quiet

Nine Babies at Three Births.
John Newport, political boss
of the negro colony, and his
wife, at Wolcoti, N. Y., are the
parents of nine children, at only
three births. Eighteen years
ago they married, and six years
thereafter George Washington
and Robert E. Lee Newport
were born. After another in
terval of six years James A. Gar
field, Chester A. Arthur and
Ulyses S. Grant Newport fol
lowed, and now quadruplets
have arrived, the Tuesday pre
ceding election. Mr. Newport
voted this year for Bry.-in. Mrs.
Newport, however, remains true
to her early political faith, so
one of the new comers has been
named McKiuley, while his
three brothers were called WiN
liam, Jennings and Bryan, re
spectively. They are fat and
healthy.
Wants $5,000 For a Lost Vote.
Thomas R,'HaU has sued the
Sassafras River Steamboat Com
pany for $5,000 for causing him
to lose his vote ou election day.
He says that on October 19 he
bought a round-trip ticket from
Georgetown to Baltimore and
return, and, in coming on the
steamer, the wrong coupon was
taken by the purser. When he
wanted to go home to vote the
company refused to accept the
ticket for passage back. He did
not have means to pay his fare,
and was obliged to remain in
Baltimore.

THE BEAUTY OF A SHIP.
MRS. STOWE'S FASCINATING DE
SCRIPTION OF A VESSEL
UNDER SAIL.
Mrs. Stowe, in "The Pearl of
Orr's Island," gives this fascinat
ing description of a ship under
sail: "What is there belonging
to this workaday world of ours
that has such a fund of never
failing, poetry and grace as a
ship? A ship is a beauty and a
mystery wherever we see it. Its
white wiugs touch the regions
of the unknown and the imagi
native. They seem to us full of
the odors of quaint, strange, for
eign shores, where life, we fond
ly dream, moves in brighter cur
rents than the muddy, tranquil
tides of every day. Who that
sees one bound outward, with
her white breasts swelling and
heaving, as if with a reaching
expectancy, does not feel his
own heart swell with a longing
impulse to go with her to the
far-off shore? Even at the dingy,
crowded wharfs, amid the stir
and tumult of great cities, the
coming in of a ship is an event
that never can lose its interest.
But on these romantic shores of
Maine, where all is so wild and
still and the blue sea lies em
braced in the arms of dark, solis
tary forests, the sudden incom
ing of a ship from a distant voy-
?ge is a sort of romance. Who
that has stood by the blue waters
of Middle bay, engirdled as it is
by green slopes of farming land,
interchanged here and there
with heavy billows of forest
trees or rocky, pine crowned
promontories, has not felt that
sense of seclusion and solitude
which is so delightful? And
then what a wonder! There
comes a ship from China, drift
ing in like a white cloud, the
gallant creature! How the waters
hiss and foam before her. With
what a great, free, generous
splash she throws out her an
chors, as if she said a cheerful
'Well done!' to some glorious
work accomplished! The very
life and spirit of strange, ro
mantic lands come with her.
Suggestions of sandalwood and
spice breathe through the pine
woods. She is an oriental queen
with hands full of mystical
'All her garments smell of myrrh
and cassia, out of the ivory pal
aces, whereby they have made
her glad.' No wonder men have
loved ships like birds and that
there have been found brave.
rou2.l1 hearts that in fatal wrecks
chose rather to go down with
their ocean love than to leave
her iu the last throes of her
death agony."
Saved by a Sagacious dog.
The dwelling and extensive
farm buildings of Gilbert Carey,
near Middletown, N. Y., were
entirely consumed by fire a few
days ago. Had it not been for a
watch dog scratching on the
front door Mr. Carey and his
wife and two daughters would
undoubtedly have perished.
Whenthey were awakened the
house was filled with smoke.
The dog showed apparent de
votion tothe daughters, with
whom he was a pet, as when the
door was opened he dashed up
stairs to the room and perished
in the attempt to find them.
An' Important Office.
To properly fill its office and functions
it is important that the blood be pure.
When it is in such a condition, the body
is almost certain to be healthy. A
complaint at this time is catarrh in
some of its various forms. A slight
cold develops the disease in the head.
Droppings of corruption passing into
the lungs bring on consumption. The
only way to cure this disease is to purify
the blood. The most obstinate cases of
catarrh yield to the medicinal powers

simply because it reaches the seat of
the disease, and by purifying and vital
izing the blood, removes the cause. Not
only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this
but it gives reoewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme.

AN INTERESTING RELIC
A Memento From the Surrender
in Appomattox.
The Appomattox Chapter,
United Daughters of the Con
federacy, sent by yesterday's ex
press a unique present to the
President of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, at Nash
ville, Tenn. The historical me
mento is a brick from the sur
render house at Old Appomattox
Courthouse. It is to be kept as a
souvenir and used as a paper
weight by each successive Pres
ident of the National Conven
tions of the United Daughters.
The brick was smoothly cement
ed over and painted sky blue,
with the Confederate flag on one
side and the Union flag on the
other, both flags, with their stars
of gild and bright colors extend
ing two-thirds length of the
brick. On top of the brick in
gilt letters was "Surrenderhouse"
and date "1865," and in hand
painting the surrender house,
looking very natural. On each
end in gilt letters is "Appomat
tox Chapter, U. D. C." with the
names of the President, Mrs. C.
W. Hunter; First Vice President,
Mrs. T. A. Smith, and Second
Vice President, Mrs. J. W. Flood.
The brick is a beauty, and the
ornamentation reflects much
credit on the artist, Miss Ger
trude Shelly. The gift and dec
orations were suggested by Mrs.
C. W. Hunter.
Mrs. T. A. Smith gave the
brick. Mr. George T. Peers
furnished a beautiful miniature
model of the house made out of
a shingle from the original roof.
Messrs. P. R. Wooldridge and A.
H. Gregory securely packed the
relic in a wooden box, which
was forwarded to Nashville.

A $50,000 Damage Suit.
Chas. A. Hess, the late candi
date for Congress in the Twelfth
District, New York State, who
was defeated for that office by
George B. McClellan, has begun
an action for libel against the
New York Press, claiming $50,
000 damages. The alleged libel
rises out of the charges made by
the Press against Mr. Hess that
he paid $5,000 to Amaza Thorn
ton and others for the purpose
of procuring his (Hess) nomina
tion and use in the district to
purchase votes for him on elecs
tion day. The Press declared,
the complaint alleges, that Hess
was a non resident in the dis
trict, and it is alleged made other
charges which are made the
grounds of the suit.
The demand for Ayer's Hair Vigor
in such widely-separated regions as
South America, Spain, Australia, and
India has kept pace with the home
consumption, which goes to show that
these people know a good thing when
they try it.
Mr. Whitney Re id gave a
dinner to Mr. Hanna, and now it
is announced that he wants to be
Secretary of State.

better satisfaction it gives.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blocd and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cuie is not a quack medicine.
It was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. It is
composed of the best tonics known
combined with the best blood purifiers'
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gredients is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh. Send

MR. SEW ALL THINKS FOUR YEARS
OF TROSPERITY MIGHT
CHANGE THE ISSUE.
Arthur Sewall, of Maine, late
candidate for Vice-President on
the Democratic ticket, was in
New York City, enroute to
Florida on Saturday. Mr. Sewall
does not appear at all cast down
by defeat and was in the best of
health.
"Of course," said Mr. Sewall,
"I was disappointed in the result
of the election. I believed we
would carry two or three of the
central States which went against
us
"What do you think will be
the result of the election as re
gards free silver?"
"I regard the election as a
practical victory for the cause of
free silver. I think the financial
plank of the next Democratic
National Convention will be
practically the same as that of
this year."
"What effect would four ycais
of-prosperity under Republican
administration have?"
"Should there be four years of
prosperity, lam declined to think
free silver would not be the issue,
because the improved condition
would seem to obviate the nes
cessity for a change. However,
I do not expect that the country
will have any such good luck."
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
(By the Governor.)
The observance of one day in
the year as an occasion of
solemn and public thanksgiv
ing to Almighty God for past
blessings and of supplication for
His continued kindness aud care
over us as a Nation and State"
is a beautiful and time-honored
custom of a Christian people
and should be perpetuated among
us and observed in a dignified
and religious manner.
The people of North Carolina
have much for which to be
thankful to the "Giver of every
good and perfect gift." Al
though the past year has not
brought so great prosperity or
the land yielded so abundantly,
still our people have enjoyed a
proportionate measure of these
blessings and have escaped the
dire calamities which have be
fallen some of our less favored
Commonwealths.
Therefore, in accordance with
the laws of this State, I, Elias
Carr, Governor of the State of
North Carolina, do hereby de
signate and appoint Thursday,
the 26th day of November, 1896,
as a day to be set apart by our
people for public Thanksgiving
to God for the many blessings
voughsafed to us. To this end
let our people assemble in their
usual places of worship or around
their firesides and give thanks in
prayer and praise.
On that day let us remember
in our prayers and with substant
ial offerings, the poor and needy
the widow and orphans, the
noble charitable institutions of
the State and the disabled sol
dier, who more than ever needs,
in his declining years, the strong
arm of the State and the assists
ance of her patriotic citizens to
protect him from want.
In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State of
North Carolina to be affixed.
Done at the city of Raleigh, this
12th day of November, in the
year of Our Lord one thousand,
eight hundred and ninety-six,
and of the independence of the
United States of America the
one hundredth and twenty-first.
Elias Carr,
By the Governor.
